THE RECORDS

THE LABELS

FIRST PRESS LABELS ON EARLY MCA LP'S CAME IN THREE TWO TONE COLOURS, AND EACH ONE IS A VALID FIRST PRESS AS THEY WERE PRODUCING ALL THREE AT THE SAME TIME. THERE IS PINK AND RED, YELLOW AND RED, AND BROWN AND RED.PLUS ORANGE AND MAGENTA

THIS IS BROWN AND RED 'DOGBONE' FIRST ISSUE LABEL IN SUPERB CONDITION. BOTH COLOURS ARE RICH AND VIBRANT AND THE ORANGE BAND FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE. THE SILVER TYPEFACE REMAINS UNRUBBED AND PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.

I CAN JUST MAKE OUT TWO OF THE TINIEST SPIDER LINES VERY CLOSE TO THE SPINDLE HOLE, INDICATING JUST HOW LITTLE THIS LP HAS BEEN NEAR A TURNTABLE

THE VINYL

THIS HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND HAS LOST NONE OF IT'S ORIGINAL LUSTRE.IN DAYLIGHT IT LOOKS TOTALLY  FLAWLESS. EVEN UNDER INTENSE ILLUMINATION THERE ARE ONLY 2-3 VERY FINE WISPY HAIRLINES

PLAYING THE RECORD

WE BELIEVE THAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A FANTASTIC COLLECTIBLE VINYL, THAT YOU SHOULD BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR WHAT YOU ARE BUYING. WE HAVE THEREFORE INVESTED IN THE SOFTWARE THAT ALLOWS YOU TO DO JUST THAT.

WE HAVE RECORDED THE ENTIRE ALBUM FROM START TO FINISH 

THE LP PLAYS THROUGH BRILLIANTLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE A GOOD LISTEN TO THE SOUNDBITES WHICH DEMONSTRATE JUST HOW FANTASTIC THIS LP SOUNDS.

THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND AT ANY POINT MEANING WHAT LITTLE PLAY THE RECORD HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM WITH A CORRECTLY TRACKED, WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS

THE SOLO GUITAR WORK IS JUST MAGNIFICENTLY REPRODUCED

THIS VINYL PLAYS WITHOUT ANY HEAVY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND NO LOUD CLICKS EITHER

THERE IS VIRTUALLY NO STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND AT, ALL, AND WHAT LITTLE THERE IS CAN ONLY BE HEARD DURING A COUPLE OF THE MOST SILENT PASSAGES

I HEARD NO MORE THAN 2-3 TINY LITTLE STATIC TICS THROUGH THE WHOLE PLAYTHROUGH

AN OUTSTANDING FIRST PRESS, THAT I AM VERY HAPPY TO GRADE MINT MINUS!!!

PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LISTEN FOR YOURSELF AND BE THE JUDGE

THE SLEEVE

THIS NON LAMINATED GATEFOLD SLEEVE IS RARELY FOUND IN ANYTHING OTHER THAN 'WORN OUT' CONDITION. THIS ONE HOWEVER IS IN AN AMAZING MINT MINUS CONDITION.

THIS IS THE CORRECT FIRST ISSUE 'ROBERT STACE PRINTED IN ENGLAND' SLEEVE

THE FRONT SURFACE IS FLAT AND CLEAN AND HAS RETAINED ALL OF THE ORIGINAL COLOURS WHICH ARE OFTEN FOUND RUBBED AWAY ON MOST COPIES. THERE IS  NO EVIDENCE OF ANY RING WEAR,OR RECORD SHAPE EITHER

THIS FRONT SURFACE IS PERFECT SHOWING NO HEAVY CREASES, NO FOLD, BENDS OR ANY OBVIOUS BLEMISH.

ALL OF THE YELLOWS AND BROWNS ARE PRISTINE, RICH AND UNRUBBED. 

THERE ARE FOUR BARELY VISIBLE TINY PRESSURE LINES CLOSE TO THE SPINE, BUT THAT'S IT.NONE ALONG THE TOP OR BOTTOM EDGES, AND NO THUMB LINES NEAR THE OPENING EDGE.

NO COLOUR LOSS AND NO PAPER SNAGS  OR STICKER MARKS

THE TOP EDGES ARE NEAR PRISTINE , WITH ALL OF THE COLOUR INTACT AND RUNNING FULLY FROM TIP TO TIP.=, WITH JUST A SMALL SPECK OF RUB TO THE RIGHT CORNERS

THE BOTTOM EDGES ARE ALMOST IDENTICAL WITH JUST A MINUSCULE SPECK OF RUBBING TO THE RIGHT CORNER TIPS, A LITTLE ON THE FRONT LEFT CORNER AND ONE TINY DOT OF UNDERCARD VISIBLE ON THE REAR EDGE

THE OPENING EDGE IS STILL RAZOR  SHARP AND SHOWS WHY THIS ALBUM HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED. 

THE SPINE IS  FLAT AND 100% UNSQUASHED. ALL OF THE TYPEFACE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE, AND ONLY THE TOP AND BOTTOM TIP ENDS SHOW A SPECK OF RUB

THE REAR SURFACE IS IN THE SAME SUPERB CONDITION AS THE FRONT, AGAIN NO COLOUR LOSS AND NO HEAVY CREASES, JUST ONE PRESSURELINE NEAR THE SPINE. 

AGAIN NO RING WEAR OR RECORD SHAPE WHICH IS RARE ON THIS SLEEVE

OPENING THE GATEFOLD REVEALS A TOTALLY PRISTINE  INNER SURFACE .

THIS IS THE FIRST PRESS UK SLEEVE AS NOTED BY THE HIPGNOSIS CREDITATION ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE TYPEFACE.ALSO THE ROBERT STACE INFO ON THE REAR SURFACE

THE BLUE AND WHITE POLY LINED INNER SLEEVE IS IN GREAT CONDITION NO SPLITS AND NO HEAVY CREASES.A LITTLE GLUE AGEING TO THE EDGES

I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS SLEEVE MINT MINUS
